The Negative Impact of Neo-Imperialist Western Prejudice and Exploitation on Mozambican Learner Performance: Does Lack of Self-Confidence in School-going Children Raised in a Culture that has been Marred by a Colonialist Past Cause low Performance?

This study reassesses the explanations as presented in surveys accessible on Internet for the average poor learner performance at many Mozambican schools, while suggesting some alternative ones in an attempt to account for the fact that so many students in this country appear to perform worse than in many other African countries or indeed a lot of countries on other continents.Today the quest is for quality in education that produces graduates that are able to communicate the knowledge and skills needed to work as competent members of a literate society, take initiatives and develop new ideas to improve education in Mozambique.
